| change ... closed |
| ================= |
| |
| With this error message Gerrit rejects to push a commit to a change |
| that is already closed. |
| |
| This error occurs if you are trying to push a commit that contains |
| the Change-Id of a closed change in its commit message. A change can |
| be closed either because it was already submitted and merged or |
| because it was abandoned. |
| |
| If the change for which you wanted to upload a new patch set was |
| already submitted and merged you may want to push your commit as a |
| new change. To do this you have to remove the Change-Id from the |
| commit message as explained link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html[here] and ideally generate a new Change-Id |
| using the link:cmd-hook-commit-msg.html[commit hook] or EGit. Before pushing again it is also |
| recommendable to do a link:http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rebase.html[git rebase] to base your commit on the submitted |
| change. Pushing again should now create a new change in Gerrit. |
| |
| If the change for which you wanted to upload a new patch set was |
| abandoned and your new changes overcome the reasons for abandoning |
| this change you may want to restore the change in the Gerrit WebUI |
| (browse the abandoned change in the Gerrit WebUI and click on the |
| 'Restore Change' button). Afterwards the push should succeed and a |
| new patch set for this change will be created. |
